About PPNPX
Principal SmallCap Growth Fund I R-5 Class is a mutual fund that targets long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap growth stocks, focusing on firms expected to deliver above-average growth in capital and earnings. Its investment universe spans a wide range of sectors, enabling diversified exposure within the small-cap growth segment of the market. The strategy may also employ up to 30% of assets in index sampling, aiming to mirror the performance of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Managed since December 2000, the fund is suited for investors seeking participation in the growth potential of smaller, emerging companies, and it typically pays dividends annually. With assets under management around $2 billion, the fund plays a key role in providing access to the dynamic small-cap sector, which is often associated with higher volatility but also greater growth opportunities compared to larger, more established firms.
